I know it has been a while since the post was active, but this might help anyone else who is encountering the issue in the future. There are a couple of common reasons for why the app might not launch. First, make sure that your user is Admin or at least the app can have admin access, had issues with this in the past. Secondly, if you are running an HDD, heavy disk fragmentation might cause problems running the application. Moreover, malware in rare cases can also prevent you from running applications. Do a scan with Malwarebytes and your antivirus software to ensure that is not the case. And lastly, occasionally compatibility issues in Windows might not allow you to launch it. Try fiddling with compatibility settings. Hopefully, this helps.
